Dear Colleague,

On behalf of Drs. Ferenc Jolesz and Clare Tempany, I would like to 
invite you to submit abstracts for the Fifth Image-Guided Therapy 
workshop sponsored by the National Center for Image Guided Therapy 
(NCIGT), the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC) and the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH). The workshop will be held on September 21, 
2012 in the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center, Harvard Medical School, 
Boston.

The goal of this workshop is to learn about state of the art and future 
trends in image guided interventions. The program for this workshop 
includes a single track of scientific talks by thought-leaders in the 
field, as well as a poster session. The oral presentations will be a 
combination of invited talks and those selected from submitted 
abstracts. The posters will be selected from the abstract submissions.

The overall goal of this workshop series is to asses the current needs 
and opportunities in the field of image-guided interventions and NCIGT’s 
role as a national center in relation to the greater IGT community. 
Similar to previous workshops in this series, we expect attendance by 
the members of the academia, industry, and federal agencies interested 
in the field of image-guided interventions.
